Almost
every snowmobiler in the Midwest is aware of the fantastic winter
playground found near the Hayward area of Sawyer County and the
Cable area of Southern Bayfield County. Hundreds of miles of wilderness
trails provide tours through this areas natural beauty, beckoning
riders to return year after year.
The
Hayward Lakes region with its rolling hills, hardwood forests, tall
pine stands and pristine lakes serves as the hub of the Sawyer County
trail system. A journey south from Hayward on Trail 31 takes riders
across the frozen Lac Court Oreilles and along Sand Lake before
joining the Tuscobia State Trail just east of Birchwood.
This
well-known Tuscobia State Trail is also listed as Corridor 10 on
the maps. It crosses Sawyer County from east to west passing through
Draper, Loretta, Winter and Radisson, as it makes its journey across
northern Wisconsin stretching from Michigan to Minnesota.
Traveling
southeast from Hayward, snowmobilers are treated to a tour of the
undeveloped Lake Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsins largest wilderness
lake. This focal point of Sawyer County was created in 1923 by a
power company dam and has more than 17,000 acres of water with 140
islands and more than 200 miles of natural shoreline.
Trails
east of Hayward meander their way towards Clam Lake. Along the way
a favorite place to take a break is at the Ghost Hill Scenic Overlook
located on a short spur trail off Trail 21 north of Ghost Lake.
Dont forget your camera to take those memorable trip photos.
Trails
lead in all directions in this scenic Chequamegon National Forest
region offering unlimited choices. When staying in this area, snowmobiles
are the only transportation you will need since almost everything
is accessible via snowmobile. Excellent lodging with roaring fireplaces
and great food can be found trailside through out this region.
